dupont and nine other companies isn't looking for payback they're asking for the companies to create a panel of independent scientists tast was studying the effects of spinal was actually created to study the effects of p.f. away in the middle value from a probable link to six diseases from exposure of the chemicals one part of the sea level which was created during a lawsuit against a part of the president's so that the company cannot contest the findings of the pedals so what they're seeking actually houses certain precedence and goes to educate us more about the content of the content of it that they put in all of our bodies and apparently across the country of the world. and that's amazing i was sort of one of the fascinating and it's a very interesting way of sort of using litigiousness to force action instead of just getting money back from them now this year a number of fire companies and fire training facilities across the country been replacing their fire fighting foam which was made from the sort of schedule b.p.

. chemicals because it's been going to show and to contaminate groundwater and it's been in city after city the environmental working group actually calculated that one hundred ten million americans may be contaminated with these with these chemicals through their groundwater and through these fire fire foam so something that's meant to save us actually ends up killing us the long run. we need to stop the contamination before it gets worse right how are you know how are we doing that it doesn't just affect fire but there you've got to imagine that all new job it's a dangerous job now we've already made even more dangerous. and there you are you know you made one of the tools the firefighters rely on dangerous to the firefighters i mean it's completely insane. cell meyer of michigan state fire marshal surveyed fire departments in the state and found that six hundred twenty

eight fire departments have responded and two hundred eighty of the six hundred twenty six fire departments now have class b. foam which is this form of talk about what some of the foam is being kept on hand because it is the best at stopping chemical fires but not for anything else iraq's that catch twenty two that they create with this you know it's awfully ironic that the thing that's so rouser to us and full of chemicals is the best thing so if i face chemicals. one of the things we have to remember is about these kind of chemicals is that they're they're not just in one place they're in your drinking water and things that are supposed to save you they wrap your food. it's a version of tap one which is one of the offshoots of i believe dupont or tao had dupont have put together is another chemical that's like to fly on but not teflon but still also very horrible and you know it's like what else out there can get us

. it. but truly has it right i would have slowed we can't even get anything right at this point in terms of chemical use. eradicating smallpox was possibly one of the biggest challenges humanity has faced and it took decades and cost billions of dollars but now microbiologists are worried the scourge could possibly come back and say a controversial study is actually to blame artie's turn of the chavez as more on this story. smallpox is considered to be one of the deadliest diseases in history and although it was eradicated in the one nine hundred eighty s. a calm. traversal study of a similar virus is sparking new concerns earlier this year researchers published a paper in an open access peer review journal and has since generated global concern in the article the scientists describe how they were able to piece together

bits of d.n.a. to resurrect horse pox playing us now if again we've got to be a little more careful with our staff thank you so much as they go to break off watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter fair enough as that on the dot com coming up we'll talk from the u.s. diplomat general john trask about the disappearance of a prominent saudi journalist from all because my career gave me how did you hear us take on and they are common on stage you know watching the.

show seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days comes to active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. us a sign explaining to this idea of the u.s. dollar reserve currency on fire they built over a post world war two era where everyone gets the debts of america and pays homage to america china russia africa good name and they're all saying we want markets elizabeth smart to listen we want to go for it we want to trade directly bilaterally we don't want to be part of the globalization any more.

good posts and you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president and she. wanted. you to do it for us this is what. three of the four people. interested in the war. thirty nine year old saudi journalist. is missing and even presumed dead after he was at the saudi consulate in istanbul reportedly to obtain documents he needed to marius fiance in turkey and has not been seen since turkish president oregon is requesting proof of life the opportunity to search the saudi consulate and access

to surveillance footage from the time in question officials in turkey allege that they have information suggesting to show he was murdered in the card slip by a team of some fifteen saudis flown in especially to do the job though no evidence to support the claim has come from the turkish government as of our broadcast show he's a writer of a washington post global opinions column best known for being the first major arab journalist to interview osama bin laden in the one nine hundred eighty s. and is known for being highly critical of crowned. prince of saudi mohammad and some months reform movement earlier this year to show he told al-jazeera quote as we speak today there are saudi intellectuals and journalists jailed now nobody will dare to speak and criticize the reforms and by the crown prince so as pressure between saudi arabia and the rest of the world heats up over everything yemen to iranian oil for the disappearance of jamal because shogi forced the international community to act joining me now to help further explain this mysterious for me

a step and thank you for thank you thank you so can you explain to me a little because i think one of the hard things for people to understand is how could a crime committed inside a foreign consulate be in vesta gated by the country the consulate is in and how can that cause problems will and the other have to do it with the permission of the country whose consulate it is in this case saudi arabia or in the worst case they can conclude on the consulate they say we're expelling you we're taking back over this property and they can search it themselves i don't know that we're at this point but i have to tell you. my my spidey senses tingling here there's something strange about all this because when this first happened my thought was mom had been so mom can get away with bloody murder literally and they haven't and i figured this will just be swept under the carpet but actually it's become quite a story now maybe it's because he was with the washington post he's part of the journalistic nobility so to speak his life counts but it is odd especially after

trump came out and really criticized so do you arabia so we want more money for your protection you would last two weeks without us i almost have a feeling there's something going on bigger between the united states saudi arabia and of course you know bibi netanyahu and mohammed bin salma or big buddies the ultimate power couple maybe maybe something's changing room when there's something going on behind the scenes what it what's interesting is the timing of this is that as saudi arabia is sort of trying to modernize it so i say in quotations i would be definitely quotation marks a some might. mostly using the crown prince as this like vision of modern and like he's so hip look at him he is cool never. sure and essentially the end of the day he still wants to be a dictator he just wants to be dictatorial monarchy you know it's it's not really changing how does a free press hurt him and in relation how does not how does sort of turning your

back on a free press going to help them in any way and i don't i don't know if saudi contacts i don't think free press matters where the otherness goes i don't know i would look at his previous writings or regarding he would be a critic of mohammed bin so money doesn't mean necessarily he's for freedom and as we understand it and is that even viable and so in the saudi arabia look the entire rule of the al saud family depends on strict muslim with the al-shaykh clan you know let's remember this is that the third saudi state the first one went belly up in one thousand nine hundred one the first one in eight hundred eighteen with the head of the house of saud actually literally his head hanging from the gate constantinople they they they know they're sitting on a powder keg they have been since the kingdom was established in the one nine hundred twenty s. the idea of liberalizing it i think is a very speculative concept at best one of the things that came up also during that same time is that there is a you know at the same time that there's you know saudi arabia possibly having

something to do with killing or disappearing. and there's also a female journalist in saudi arabia that you know has retracted but have attracted far less attention there are like when they cut the head off of the shia cleric when they actually keep people for sorcery the again they get away with bloody murder all the time the question is this suddenly has got legs and that indicates me something else is going on what a big turkey it seems odd that it's that it's happening in turkey because they don't have the best press freedom they don't they don't land so. i am not press freedom and act at all in fact that one of the world's biggest jailers of journalists so now with turkey now seemingly defending a journalist and is this a sign of change in turkey as far as the press or is this more about we don't like you killing someone on our turf might be needs or maybe simply pot and kettle and that they're using it because it's useful for some bigger game frankly i'm

surprised even blamed on putin as we know love to kill germans during was just for fun wrestling it was well it's so early in the week because i mean when you get out here i'm sure it'll be glad to ask jennifer rubin i'm sure she'll get it or not only that but they were the point is i don't know that it has to do with press freedom in turkey and it may not even have to do with the wounded sense of sovereignty on turkey support and may simply be that for other reasons they want to pick a fight with the saudis and they're using this as a pretext so can you kind of explain to me the simple terms of why turkey and saudi arabia are are not on the best terms so there are a number of reasons to some extent we can see it's a struggle for supremacy in the sunni world i mean obviously iran is the leading shiite power but you have a distinction between the gulf monarchies particularly and a more populist base like the muslim brotherhood that everyone is close to and let's remember that for a long time one of the one the ultimate enemy was leftist baathism in communism the

saudis the other gulf states supported the muslim brotherhood but with them with the arab spring they began to say you know this whole populous thing is sort of get out of out of control and being a monarch may not necessarily be the best place to be if these people take power so i think there's that sense that that. it is pretense to become the new sunni soltan of the sultan of the sunni world can use a more of a populist campaign against people like the saudis so they cut off their support say they're terrorists that cetera et cetera so i think there is that distinction between them and there's a lot going on on. so this sort of soup of the middle east is that you know saudi arabia and iran they're saudi arabia saying we don't mean iran zoila iran is sort of laughing at them do you think this has anything since i think i think has something to do with especially since the turks are going to get hammered with american sanctions for buying buying iranian energy you also have a parting of the ways on syria let's remember that for most of the war for the last seven plus years the saudis the turks and the qatar is in the gulf states have all

been supporting the same terrorists in syria right now with turkey moving closer to iran and russia where does that leave the saudis than their game plan especially since it's pretty obvious assad is going to win the war in syria. one of the things i found really interesting about this story is that normally u.s. officials are you know elected u.s. officials here they have a modest saudi saudi situation that they can't excuse is they want you know they have a saudi money and they won't take their it's really hard to find someone really being critical and it was so i was sort of shocked that one of the biggest sort of iran haters and saudi supporters senator lindsey graham actually surprisingly tweeted this out today if there was any truth to the allegations of wrongdoing by the saudi government would be devastating to u.s. saudi relationship and they will be having praise to be paid economically and otherwise do you think if this comes out that the saudis did in fact have killed or that they're holding him somewhere and they're lying about it are we going to see

the same kind of sanctions that we saw with russia and madeleine or the chinese north korea are we going to see that is there any chance of that and think there's i think there's a chance but i wouldn't bet on it. remember they are the biggest consumers of lobbying services in this town they own half of this town the israelis of course on the other half and in alliance together they run the road the city everybody knows that. if there is a bridge between them for some reason and you know who is turning against us that that could be big but i think that would be a necessary precondition to see any really serious confrontation with reality what do you think is going to happen i mean what are the next steps we have you know because shogi still missing there is a lot of reports of what could have happened what are we going to see next obviously they need to get into the consulate do you think that that will show anything are or what do you think is going to happen or should we expect to hear i

think the ball is when they're going to score he has some options as i say he can simply order the consulate closed and search the thing now what if they do that and they don't find anything there we still don't have any answers the question he also has launched. sure there's a lot of dialogue going on between between us. and riyadh to try to come to some accommodation here and the saudis will have every reason to make some concessions to go on especially if they are guilty and they need to find some way to to to cover their rear ends let me ask you this as someone who sort of bet on that side of you know you get and formation like this one morning and it's like what shall we do what you have to analyze this is a journalist's life is that it does that make it any more or less. of an issue does it make does it have more or less power when it's a journalist who's at stake because it seems you know as a journalist watching that it's terrifying that someone can just silence you when you go to pick up some documents or something do you think that that has more of

a standard or is this new is this surprising that there is actually concern over a journal it's bigger than i would have thought but it really depends on who the journalist. they were all sick you know or a hard work will work it's not easy. and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve their stress. these men that outweigh these men that comfort these men that. people have been murdered up here people can raise their massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would

prefer and it be the death penalty just because i think that's the player think the right thing research shows that for every nine the executions one convict just found innocent. the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no really that doesn't mean that we're even many of the families the death penalty could be the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to get.
